[Twisted-Python] Compile failure in 1.1.0rc1 Windows

[Mark Evans]

Windows 2000, MSVC6sp5, the full Microsoft SDK is also installed (free from MS website in case you didn't know), as well as MASM for that matter.  Necessary Microsoft INCLUDE and PATH environment variables OK, and as per standard.  All TM prerequisites like SSL etc are installed correctly.  Then tried a simple setup.py install command.

The failure is a missing include file referenced from portmap.c.

#include <rpc/rpc.h>
#include <rpc/pmap_clnt.h>

Some clues.  On Windows, there *is* a VC6 and MSSDK header called rpc.h.  However it does not live in a folder called rpc.  And there is *no* header called pmap_clnt.h.  The last part of the output is shown below.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong list, only trying to help out with the rc1 release.
